I am facing an error as per image when I start eclipse. Can anyone advise me how I can remove the error?

not sure whether it would affect usage, but I just find the error to be annoying

Eclipse Error

P.S.: Prior to this, I installed 2020-06...then uninstall it by deleting eclipse, .eclipse folder in users\myUser\ afterwards, I install 2020-03 and this started happening.

I'm getting the same error message when starting Eclipse 2020-06. After updating from 2020-03 to 2020-06 I hadn't this problem.

It might be a coincidence but if I rembember correctly it started to appear when I updated the SAP Development Tools to the latest version.

Update: In my Eclipse .log file I can see the following error message:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 0 2020-07-15 17:02:45.692
!MESSAGE init exec providers default locations
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2020-07-15 17:02:45.692

I have updated to the latest version and the issue seems to have been fixed.
